Tho patient work of tbo archaeolo gist enables people of today to form a very fair Idea of medical scleuce as It existed In Nineveh (150 yeurs before the birth of Christ, says the New York Sun.. Of the 20,000 tablets taken from tho library of Assurbanlpal, the great king of Assyria, who conquered Egypt and Bablyoula and established his nub' Jects in the deserted ell lex of Samaria, hundreds deal exclusively with medi cine ii ml coutara numerous prescrip tions: : J- "If a man has colic make him stn-nd up and pour over him a decoction of bypericum and ho will recover. "Or make him crouch down on his heels und, pour cold water over. Ills bead." Faith healing seems to be Indicated In a prescription which runs: "If he Is in a weak state, make him beud down, then raise his legs and say. 'May yon get quite well." Strike him also on the head fourteen times with your thumb." Vany , prescriptions deal with the cure of a disorder which was very common at Nineveh and which seems to have been due to overindulgence In food mid (U'ink: "When a man Is bil ious rub him with an onion and let bim drink nothing but water and ab stain from food altogether." Among the medicines used by tho physicians of Nineveh -were sesame, olive oil, castor oil. sirup of dates, honey and salt.- Fasting and massage wore frequently ordered. LAPPS AND WOLVES. The Deer Killing Brutes Get No Meroy From tho Native. The Swedish Lupps aro said to live entirely with, by and upon .their rein deer. A Lapp who owns a thousand deer is a rich man, but as taxes are assessed upon the number of deer, ho Is inclined to underestimate his herd. The most dungerous enemy to the herd is the wolf, which can, kill many deer in a night. A band of wulves can make a rich Lapp poor. When the snow la deep and soft and It 1h announced that wolf tracks have been seen In (he neighborhood of the deer, the swiftest runners on snow-shoi-s prendre for an exclling chase. The wolf may have a start of a mile or two, but the track it leaves In tnu deep, soft snow Is so conspicuous that tile hunters can follow It at their best spved. The wolf, though he may run swiftly, has but a slight chance of es; capiug his pursuers, on tlielr snowHlioes. Each hunter does his best to oulrui. the others., for the wolf belongs to the Lapp who strikes the first blow. As soou us the leading huuter Is close enough lo tlie wolf ho gives It a heavy blow O 'l'oss the lnlns with bis strong. Hpikca tiiwiihoe staff. If there are other wolves to be pursued be kills It outright; if not he disables it and waits till nil the hunters have arrived befor giving the death stroke. . Germany's. Industrial Life. The Industrial life of Germany gives tlie impression of a groat street crowd ed with heavy trafllc. This traffic fa formed of units, but all have a common purpose and direction, and it is well regultited. It is aggressive,- noisy and daugerous to those who brave its com petitive perils. It is' artificial, us It caters to thj needs of miiu largely out side of the actual necessities for sub sistence, and it is subject to Increase or decreases, congestions or even sud den stoppages, for, unlike the bulk of the traUlc of the United States, it is not the Irresistible flow of a mlgbty river of natural products seeking the level of supply nud demand. Ever increas ing Its volume, ever extending its zone, of Influence, the foreign trade of Ger many Is the marvel of the twentieth century. Jumes Davenport Whelpley In Century. .
